Have you tried to look on your system for merged.log* file?

Also if you intend to use barnyard2 make sure to remove the nostamp
option from your snort.conf output unified2 line,
barnyard running in continuous wont  process it , and after 128mb
snort will overwrite your file (unless this benavior has changed).

Is your snort process freshly restarted or did you kill -HUP it with
some config changes?

Are you sure the your snort process is using the good config file?

I hope this can help you.
